Anything but Average. The Vigilante Therapist™: a social worker, driven by a strong sense of justice and moral responsibility, who actively intervenes in situations where systemic or individual injustices occur, going beyond the typical scope of their role and taking unconventional actions to achieve positive change, while still adhering to their ethical and professional boundaries

Hi! I'm the owner, dubbed the Vigilante Therapist by my clients due to my willingness to go “Above and beyond to help with things others won’t” and therapy outside the box. I am just your (a)typical, (un)reserved, lil 'ol queer therapist who is determined to decimate the abusive gatekeeping practices and harmful barriers restricting access to safe and life-saving affirming care. I provide affirming teletherapy for LGBTQIA2s+ youth, adults, and the allies who love us in OH and/or MI (at the time of service, no residency requirement). I am a gender, sexuality, poly, kink, and sex worker-affirming, reproductive rights supporting, HAES defending, harm reduction advocating, eclectic/ integrative/ holistic therapist who sprinkles the word F*** everywhere. I'm just here to share info, interact with the world, and let's face it, probably express my opinion too much. I accept some insurance, utilize a pay-what-you-can policy, and do not believe in cancellation fees. No one will be turned away for lack of financial resources; your ability to access specialized private practice mental health services is of utmost importance. Accessing mental health services should never be a decision between therapy and groceries

Safe, Accessible, Affirming care for all ages is ALWAYS a priority

I couldn't agree more with this piece an article I ran across in Brainz Magazine.

"For someone supporting a grieving friend or family member, what simple actions are often the most comforting?"

" Don’t ask them what you can do: show up for them. Clean their house. Help them with errands. Have groceries delivered. Take them out for a coffee and let them cry. I think people mean well when trying to support someone who is suffering a loss, but they aren’t usually going to call, text, or tell you what they need. Just do it. Please don’t say to them, “They are in a better place now.”

Yes!!

100% Show up for people. They are probably shut down, unable to vocalize their needs, don't necessarily know what they need ... Just because they don't reach out doesn't mean they don't need support.

Also , no matter how long it's been dont ever tell someone they should have "moved on by now" or need to "just move on". There is no time frame to grief, every loss is experienced differently.

Soooooo.... In over a decade of writing WPATH letters for individuals seeking Gender Affirming Surgeries, I have never even once had a surgeon tell a patient they were required to lose weight and be below a certain BMI to even consult for their desired surgery.

Surgeon relayed it was bc of insurance, yet I don't see anything in the insurance policies stating this.

Upon going to the surgeons website, not only do they state the certain BMI but also suggests consults for bariatric surgery or a nutritionist as well (that's I've been told cost $250 a visit ).

In addition they cite WPATH SOC Version 7 (which was updated in 2022 to V 8) as their reference for the information they provide throughout their website.

Has anyone else ever heard of losing weight, needing to be a specific BMI as a requirement especially before even scheduling a consult?

What would your thoughts be if you saw a surgeon who states they specialize in gender affirming surgery cited outdated standards for said surgeries when publicly providing information?

Am I over reacting?

Mind you in over a decade of writing numerous referral letters a week, I have only ever had one client go to them for their surgery and that was many years ago.

Update: I also happen to notice in looking thru all the letters I've written over the years, I've only ever written a referral letter for this surgeon one time ever about 5 years ago. Never again until now has a client consulted or gone thru surgery with them. 🤔

I have no problem saying it out loud. People sometimes need someone else to compliment them or reassure them of the good they are doing.

We all deserve to hear the positive things about ourselves. Especially when all too often that negative inner voice tries to take over.

Let's speak it out loud more often, it deserves to be heard. 🩷

🤣🤣 a little more detailed than that honestly. Many of us do care about our clients (in a professional way of course) . Therapists are human too. We have been thru or are going through many of the same things.

We want to see you succeed in reaching your goals. We feel to some extent , along with you when lifes trials and tribulations show their ugly face. We are highly trained in therapeutic intervention but we still aren't perfect ourselves. We still have feelings and seek support of our own.

Point is just remember we care too and you matter. You are important and you are not alone in your experiences.
